OceanTools
Designs and manufactures custom subsea pressure housings for deep-ocean and other underwater applications.
OceanTools works as a subsea engineering company that designs and manufactures underwater and offshore technology for professional offshore and underwater markets. Its business spans a broad portfolio of engineered products and solutions used in harsh environments for applications such as offshore survey, subsea drilling, ROV operations, subsea inspection, IRM work, pipeline and riser inspection, underwater positioning and navigation, and offshore engineering. The company supports subsea projects with underwater technology and engineered solutions, and it maintains a worldwide network of agents and distributors. Leak, dye, and cement detection forms a major part of the business. OceanTools develops systems that detect leaks from underwater infrastructure such as manifolds, wellheads, and pipelines once a dye has been added to the fluids, and it supports cementing operations by detecting cement returns where tracer dye has been used. It supplies the related tracing dyes as well, including low-environmental-impact and biodegradable options. Another significant product area covers cameras, lights, and video systems for subsea use, including low-light cameras, colour zoom cameras, light-ring cameras, underwater lasers, and video overlay-related equipment. The company makes subsea pressure housings and a range of subsea sensors and tools, such as digital CP probes, inclinometers, level displays, and temperature probes. OceanTools offers robotics and hydraulics equipment together with equipment rental. Its rental pool holds many of its own products, among them cameras, lights, video overlays, attitude sensors, and digital CP probes, and the same engineers and technicians who designed and built that equipment maintain the rental units. Rental comes as offshore hire at competitive day rates or as longer-term lease, and an exclusive rental partner handles the full range of DyeTector leak and dye detection systems. The combination of in-house design and manufacture with rental availability across a wide range of subsea technologies distinguishes the company among suppliers to offshore energy and related industries.
